Winning games vs draft position

[Goondal]

Whatever we have to do to get Cooper.

 

Cooper is gone unless we trade up for him

If the price isn't too crazy I'd be down.

I'm thinking the most likely scenario is the perpetuation of the mind numbing status quo, we either drop one game or win out and somehow miss the playoffs, nobody gets fired, and the panthers have another middling draft pick

Same poo that happens almost every year

Good thread i was just trying to figure this up this morning

[IamSoClutch]

nope we're just about done with that dream. saints are gonna win the division and we're gonna get shitty cedric ogbuhi at about 10-12. mark my word.

That would suck. I've seen mocks with Ereck Flowers at 16. That would be better then Cedric

I would bet against San Francisco in both of those games.  The season is lost and Harbaugh is all but out the door.  San Diego this week still has a lot to play for and is in the thick of the playoff chase.  The final week Arizona will be fighting for the division, a bye and a possible top overall seed so they too will have plenty of incentive.

 

Agree on the other two, Miami and Houston should win at least one.

 

I get the Harbaugh angle but SF is favored this week vs SD in Vegas and ARI's division hopes rest at home vs. SEA this week.  Win, and the division is theirs, period. Lose, and they're going as a wildcard (already clinched), simple as that.  Not to mention they have a 3rd string QB and SF may in fact just play hard one final time for Jim.

Ronnie Stanley is more likely and more appealing among others at this point.

This is guaranteed to happen. Julio Jones will be out and Tampa will give up and roll over when they know they have Mariota in their hands. Thus Rivera's idiotic decisions to kick a field goal in the Cincy and Atlanta games will come back to haunt him... he won't pay for it however, the fans will by watching shitty rivera ball for another year.

 

Given the choices i'd honestly rather lose to the Browns or Falcons. However winning out and missing the playoffs is such a Panther thing to do it's all but assured to happen.

[Cuttinedge]

Coopers a top 5 pick easy. Unless He does something really stupid between now and the draft

Same here, but I would be surprised to see G-man trade up, especially not with all the holes we have.

Stay tuned for canned in responses from Ron

"We came on strong towards the end!"

"We're going to carry this momentum into next season!"

"We had this that and the other thing to deal with!"

Bullshit. Make the playoffs or fuging leave. I'm tired of this carousel and song and dance every year. You're not going to carry this momentum into next season, you never do, you just can't get the team to gel cohesively and allow them to play in first gear until the very last minute, and then they play the way they should've played all season.

Honestly the December of the 2010 season was more exciting than this, because then you could at least look forward to everything getting shaken up.

fuging ridiculous how Ron was given ample opportunity to have had the division clinched right now if he were any good, but he had to piss it all away so badly that we can't even control our own destiny, we have to depend on fuging scenarios. I'm so sick of this poo.

PLAYOFFS!

[Jackofalltrades]

Hell no.

[Semaj]

It would be one thing if a team in this division was 11-5, but at least we are in position for a playoff spot as long as we keep winning. The only issue is that we're not in control of our own destiny.

In years past, Atlanta or New Orleans would have the division locked up at this point and only then would we start winning. Big difference.

I hear ya. I am just saying that I think that we still miss the playoffs. Like I said, we will win just enough to screw up our draft position but not enough to make the playoffs. We will have to wait for 2 more weeks to see if I was right. Hope I am wrong. The other bad thing is that the more Rivera wins the less likely that he will be gone.
